Observability Notes

Emitter Status: SILENT since May 31 13:11 UTC

The queue-baseline-metrics.jsonl file was last written at 2026-05-30T01:47:00Z (tick-based). No new tick data since then. The stub-only pattern persists — all recent ticks show output_first_line: "test-tick" with duration_s: 0. This is a known issue from Phase-0 where the emitter records pickup events, not completion outcomes.

Assessment: Emitter is functional but producing low-signal data. Filesystem-based scanning remains authoritative.

Throughput Analysis

  • +104% throughput over yesterday (54 vs 26 done files). Likely includes batch completions from earlier sessions.
  • No DLQ signals in the last 24h — queue is processing cleanly.
  • Blocked queue unchanged at 19 items. Stale blocker count: 16 items have been blocked >7 days (up from 12 on May 30). This warrants attention.

Stuck Tasks

Estimated 3 active tasks with no mtime update >4h. These may be waiting for external input or are silently stuck.

Recommendations

  1. Blocked queue cleanup — 16 items blocked >7 days should be reviewed for archival or escalation to pvs.
  2. Recurring infra tasks — Today’s active queue contains fix-infra-crashloopbackoff-20260601.md and fix-infra-oomkilled-20260601.md, suggesting recurring failures that haven’t been permanently resolved.
  3. Emitter improvement — Stub-only ticks remain an observability gap. Consider restoring the Phase-0 completion-event emitter or switching to filesystem-based tick detection.
